Expert Solution

1	Amount to be borrowed	$ 30,000.00
	Interest Rate	8%
	Time Period	15 years

	Amount to be repaid at end of 15 years
	30000(1+(.08/2))^(152)	=	$ 97,301.93

	This is equal to amount that needs to be repaid to company
	Therefore interest is 8% for company as well
	Answer - E - None of above

2	Amount needed at end of five years		$ 40,000.00
	Interest Rate	=	7.50%

	Let the amount to be invested be X

	X*(1+.075)^5	=	$ 40,000.00
	X	=	40000/(1+.075)^5
	X	=	$ 27,862.35

	Answer - D - 27862

3	Amount invested	$ 20,500.00
	Interest Rate	6.00%
	Time Period	7 years

	Amount after 7 years	=	20500(1+(6%/4))^(74)
	Amount after 7 years	=	$ 31,103.05
	Compounded Interest	=	$ 10,603.05

	Amount of simple interest	=	205006%7
	Amount of simple interest	=	$ 8,610.00

	Difference between both the interests	=	$ 1,993.05

	Answer - A - 1993

4	Amount invested	=	$ 4,000.00
	Interest rate	=	9%
	No. of payments	=	5

	PV	=	4000*(1-(1+0.09)^-5)/0.09
	PV	=	$ 15,558.61

	Answer - E - None of the Above
